Two Stable Pillar-Layered Zn-LMOFs for Highly Fluorescence Sensing of Inorganic Pollutants and Nitro Aromatic Compounds in Water.

Luminescent metal-organic frameworks (LMOFs) are a potential class of functional materials for the photoluminescent detection of a wide range of analytes as well as for the detection of pollutants in wastewater. Herein, by using the pillar-layered strategy, two new luminescence Zn-LMOFs ( and ) were successfully solvothermal synthesized. The 2D layers are both consisting of Zn and TPHC [TPHC = (1,1':2',1″-terphenyl)-3,3″,4,4',4″,5'-hexacarboxylic acid] ligands and then pillared by the different N-donor ligands to form the 3D Zn-LMOFs with topology.

Fine-Tuned Ultra-Microporous Metal-Organic Framework in Mixed-Matrix Membrane: Pore-Tailoring Optimization for C H /C H Separation.

Effective separation of ethyne from ethyne/ethylene (C H /C H ) mixtures is a challenging and crucial industrial process. Herein, an ultra-microporous metal-organic framework (MOF) platform, Cd(dicarboxylate) (ditriazole), with triangular channels is proposed for high-efficiency separation of C H from C H . The targeted structures are constructed via a mixed-ligand strategy by selecting different-sized ligands, allowing for tunable pore sizes and volumes.
